Hi all,

Replace the switch mode wall mount power supply with transformer power 
supply and coil the extra power cord with ferrite. Most of the common mode 
noise can be eliminated. There are still switch mode regulators and
oscillators
inside modem/router/hub that can radiate birdies. Clamp the Ethernet cables
also with a ferrite clamp so there is no more "antennas".
